It’s been a while since my last outfit post and this one features one of my all-time favorite outfits which I have lovingly dubbed “The Beskirted Lumberjack”. Based on the feedback you guys gave me on my last outfit post, I have included better photos this time which you will find at the bottom of the post.
The prominent feature of this outfit is a button-down shirt with large red and black checkers. It is a bold and bright shirt that couldn’t be more of a stereotype of typical “masculine” clothing in Western cultures. I like to pair it with one of my black skirts and either black thermal tights or cotton leggings depending on how cold it is.
In the photos below, I am wearing it with my black skirt from Engelbert-Strauss and with black cotton leggings which I find more comfortable than tights. Also in the photos below, you will notice I am wearing my brown heeled boots from Anna Field. I like to wear brown boots with the outfit, but will sometimes wear black instead. I have the same boots in black.
I have worn this outfit sans heeled boots in public many times and have never had anyone comment on it. I tend not to wear heeled shoes out because at 191 cm (6′ 2″) without heels, I already have difficulties fitting into things without heels. Instead, I will wear flat boots or my sneakers.
The outfit as shown consists of the following components:
- Red and black checkered shirt from Walmart
- The black skirt from Engelbert-Strauss
- Brown heeled boots from Anna Field
- Black, cotton leggings
What do you think about the outfit? Would you change something about it or keep it the way it is? Let me know in the comments below!
Thanks – Love those boots so much, I had to get them. From the UK Site…
I really love them too! I also have the black pair and they are my favorites. I’m glad you could get them in the UK!
A skirt that could pass as men’s cargo shorts. Simple. Issue is the ability to move around in a narrow skirt. I have several of these types. Why won’t designer make a man’s skirt like this? I wear them with knee socks.
That is true. It looks like a work skirt and in theory could be, but since it’s so narrow and tight, it makes moving around a little too difficult to be practical for physical work. I would love it if designers would make men’s skirts like this!
great look, we all have that one outfit that we like to wear.
Thank you! And you’re absolutely right about everyone having that one outfit that we like to wear the most.
Looks good, Alex. I have some very similar boots, in black, brown, and tan. What would that outfit look like with the shirt tucked in (and a belt, if the skirt allows it)?
